At home, the Warren girls were able to eliminate Campbell Hall, beating them 25-21, 25-22, 17-25, 27-25. Being able to win the first two sets helped Warren keep the momentum in their quarterfinal match and ultimately put away Campbell Hall for good.

Warren, however, was eliminated by Los Altos on Tuesday in the semifinals.

Downey, a team with high hopes and expectations this year, advanced to the quarterfinals but fell to Palm Springs, 25-22, 25-22, 25-22.
